Beggin’ dog treats are begging for bacon, a new federal lawsuit claims.

Nestle Purina Petcare Company is ripping off dog owners by marketing its popular Beggin’ dog treats as containing lots of real bacon when the product really only has miniscule amounts of the delicious meat, according to the Manhattan federal court lawsuit.

Paul Kacocha, 59, sued the food giant after buying Beggin’ treats for his West Highland terriers Tyler and Sophie because he believed bacon was the primary ingredient, according to his suit.

“Dog lovers go to extremes to provide for and feed their dogs,” the suit states, adding that the treats are shaped and colored to look like real bacon and flavored to smell like real bacon.

“The product name, Beggin,’ is designed to, and does sound virtually the same as ‘Bacon’ when spoken. The deception is complete.”

The problem is that bacon is only the 10th biggest ingredient in the treats, which are mostly made out of wheat, sugar, and soy, Dutchess County resident Kacocha claims.

“Had plaintiff Kacocha known the truth about defendant’s misrepresentations and omissions about the ingredients contained in those products, plaintiff would not have purchased the Beggin’ dog treat products that he did, and in any event, he would not have paid the premium price he paid,” the suit states.

Kacocha’s lawsuit – which he claims is a class-action suit with over $5 million at stake – also bashes the food conglomerate for its misleading television advertising.

“The television commercials for Beggin’ Strips falsely present the product as consisting primarily of bacon,” states the suit, which describes one of the popular ads.

“The commercial begins with an adult female opening a bag of Beggin’ Strips. A visualization of fumes emanates from the bag which waft to the family dog resting on the floor, head down,” the suit states, describing how the dog wakes up and rushes around the house looking for bacon.

“The dog runs into the living room, where the man of the house is napping in a recliner. Screaming ‘Where is it? Where’s the bacon?’ (an ironic, though unintended metaphor for this entire case), the dog jumps on the napping man.”

A spokesman for Nestle Purina said the company has always been transparent and accurate in its advertising and packaging.

“The notion that anyone would actually think we’re selling bacon is nonsense. It’s a fun product that contains bacon, consumers get it and dogs love it,” said company spokesman Keith Schopp, who said he owns 5 dogs.
